Ramona Burnham Scholarship Foundation

The Ramona Burnham Scholarship Foundation, administered by the Sacramento Region Community Foundation, supports graduating high school seniors from the Baldwin Park Unified School District. To qualify, applicants must be Hispanic or Latinx and speak English as a second language. This financial assistance program helps students transition to higher education, covering costs at any accredited two-year or four-year college, university, vocational school, or trade school.

To apply, students must register and submit an application through the provider's online scholarship portal. Along with the application, candidates are typically required to provide an academic transcript and a personal essay. Because the scholarship is need-based, applicants must also submit a copy of their Free Application for Federal Student Aid submission summary report or their California Dream Act report to verify financial need. The award amount is $5,000. For current application dates and deadlines, please see the official page.
